i can not love you more
than i have loved you
for i have loved you long
and held your love so dearly
in my heart of hearts but now
my eyes have opened
to find my heart in mourning

and when the first bird
sings outside my bedroom window
he sings a sorrowful song
for you have found me lacking
though i can not understand
the how and why of it
and yet my love for you
was gentle and long suffering

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

I hear the bird crying
within her sweet song,
the shadow of love's
aching voice.

very moving poem

But it sounds as if it is over, this love. Great job, Faith.

for you have found me lacking

That is what really hurts, also because when we are falling in love, we don't see any lacking in each other. So when this happens, it means that a love has not been able to withstand the test of time ...

You say it beautifully, dear Faith.

Love,
Margherita

Dear Margherita-Thank you so much for your kind words. Jose Gassett, a spanish philosopher who i greatly admire said, "Love dies when it's birth was in error." That quote has stuck with me over the years and seems to kind of haunt me.

It's always a pleasure to find you have stopped by.

Love-Faith

There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Only the soul that loves is happy. J. W. Goethe, 1749-1831, German philosopher and writer

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
Bertrand Russel, 1872-1970, English philosopher and mathematician, Mysticism and Logic

Dear Faith, I am glad I found your comment here ... I would like to ask you to let go of that "haunting" quote, though of course not at all denying the value of the philosopher you appreciate. LOVE IS NEVER EVER AN ERROR AT ITS BIRTH.
It may be short lived, it may bring along misunderstandings in the long run, but LOVE IS ALWAYS A GIFT, it cannot really die. Its vibrations last forever, long after you have closed that personal chapter with it.
Sometimes it may reside in an intense gaze and not be given the opportunity to evolve ... and yet that too is a gift to cherish.

When you love, don't ask will it last .... JUST LOVE.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

I agree whole heartedly with Margherita, she said it just right about love being a gift even if it ends. Enjoyed your poem.

Dear Margherita-Thank you for your lovely comments. The truth is I still haven't found what I'm looking for and may never find it. I don't think I'm asking for too much but admit I'm a hopeless romantic and miss the kind of romance there was before texting and computers and all.

Love,

Faith
